Yes.. very bland...

One year I was asked to Make Pumpkin for Christmas Lunch.. I went on my merry way and made it my Mom taught me.. with Cinnamon, Sugar and Custard powder... anyway... Apparently they didn't have it like that before... You see my g/f parents are scottish... so yeah there is.. Beats me how they make it though....

Also I never heard Of a Scottish Sausage before that looks like a piece of sliced bread ..but it is meat... go figure... :D

Btw, I think 1 cup = 250 ml.
Thanks microsofty .... but have a feeling this is another definition that varies from country to country. Came a cropper once before when making an American recipe! :huh:

Measuring cup definition in Wikipedia (assuming it is right!)
Australia = 250 ml (also SA?)
UK = 285 ml
USA = 236.59 ml
FDA = 240 ml

Never had pumpkin before, buttons. Guessing they probably meant boiled, baked, or roasted. Scots tend to eat (lots) of sweet stuff after the main course rather than with it. Square sausage (also called sliced?) is when sausage meat is pressed into a meatloaf tin then cut into slices like bread. If you're into cooked breakfasts then you often get it then (luckily I'm not).

We better watch out for her cassandra. I think she's trying to ingratiate herself with us. I THINK IT'S A PLOT.

We call that slicing. I do despair of you sometimes saying you're not into cooked breakfasts. Once in a while, they're just the thing.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her .... which probably isn't very far at all.

Agghh! How can you eat something so heavy and (sometimes) greasy first thing in the morning!! Yuck! Anyway WE call it square sausage ... well .... because it is really .... though I'm sure there's better slang definitions ... but can't think of any now.

Okay for you I give you method to make pumpkin...

Boil Pumpkin until soft
Drain Water
Mash Pumkin
Add Cinnamon.. taste.. stop when the bitterness of pumkin has been balanced... This isn't an excact science
Add Sugar... again until it is sweet..becarefull you can put tomuch sugar in so start slowly

Then for every two people you making it add 1 table spoon of Custard powder in a glass dissolve with a little water ..once again not too much water..

Add Custard mix into pumkin
Return pumkin to heat and wait until the juices becomes sticky...
Remove and serve...

This is a method my mum passed down to me ..so I have no measurements... Sorry

mmmm that sounds nice Buttons.

i've only ever had "sweet" pumpkin when my friend made a pumpkin pie. boy was that a taste sensation mmmm.

all the other times i've just had it roasted or my fave way boiled with some butter and lots of salt & pepper.
it's too strong, what we feel and what we need

See... now I never had it like that before... Always just had it sweet...

Has anybody tasted Kumara???

It's like sweet potatoe.... I said Like...not IS..for the New zealanders out there... How to make a new zealander angry ...tell them Kumara IS a Sweet Potatoe... I had it when I was there and really liked it... Was cooked in a hungi..which made it really nice...

..so I have no measurements... Sorry

that's the only way to cook IMO. i like being able to use my own "kitchen instinct" when whipping up some goodies :D especially if they're handed down ones.

i've had kumara. not a huge fan, there's something about it that puts me off. if it's already in something i'll eat it though.

So, why is cream soda different colours for each country? How bizarre!

I have no idea. But I love Cream Soda......haven't had it in ages.

Exactly...every once in a while it does go down a treat. (Are you listening Cassandra?) These potato scone cakes, are they triangular and very thin? If they are I know what you are talking about.

btw there are other cooked breakfasts, like porridge, boiled egg and toast. So, you wouldn't eat those either Cassandra?

Actually, I'm just about to eat a boiled egg and toast before heading out on my bike to work. Got to have some sustenance.

Well the ones we get is round and very thin... Similar to a crumpet but thinner...

buttons, thanks for the pumpkin recipe. At least I don't have to worry about converting the measurements! It sounds so straightforward that even I could make it .... maybe.

Thanks for your kind concern with my breakfast habits, aj! Yes, I have (on the rare occasion) been known to eat a boiled egg and toast. And although I don't eat them, I always think of potato scone cakes as being triangular too.

Never really drank cream soda on its own. Do you still get frozen cream soda from the ice-cream van? Used to be fantastic on a really hot day!

Maybe we should rename this thread, the Bad Girls Servery?
